i looked at the short coat, give me a moonshine pear, a bun for the woman max, i'll give you a lullaby, uncle, and you give me a heel, i'm a little boy, climbed on the table, give the woman himself, historically, kharkiv region suffered a lot both from wars and from famine, mistrust here heard carols, saw nativity scenes for the first time in vorokhta, in the carpathians, when we went there after the pomar. girl , good evening to you, master, rejoice

, oh, rejoice, earth, the son of god, was born, and i will be there, and you will be with him, i was born in kharkiv, my parents were here, my mother studied as a student. although she comes from poltava oblast, her father is from kyiv oblast, well, all my life i lived in kharkiv and lived as an ordinary town girl, until a certain moment i turned towards traditional folk culture, it turned out very interesting, again, it was a hobby for some years, just a hobby, but over time it absorbs and you start to do it more and more, somehow it changes your preferences, changes your specialties, even actually... in recent years i i am already doing this, my first student expeditions were from 1986, they were summer expeditions, then we, on

our own initiative , liked the students so much that it was no longer required of us, but every six months we went as students to these expedition, the end the 80s, the beginning of the 90s, it was still a very good time to fix our traditions, because we wrote to informants who were... in their 20s or even 10s or even older years of birth, these are people who spent their youth before this attack of mass culture , the worst problem, as they say, was the radio that appeared there, it was already active there in the 30s, it sounded in the villages, and there we could, by the way, we used to come to some band , they record, which version of the song you should sing, the one we learned on the radio, or the one we had in the village, we all know, yes, that a folk song is something simple, cheerful. we have all heard endless performances of our official collectives, such as choral choirs, and seen dances there, which is what we

call a processed, processed folk song, i absolutely did not expect that i would hear such complex heterophonic, polyphonic moments in a folk song, that i will see this improvisation and variation, which was completely excluded in such a group, well, standard official performance,

whole groups did not sing, so i came directly in the village, five or six people gathered at once and they sang a complete composition , it was very rare to find such a thing here, we very often worked here with the solo tradition, and immediately realizing that these are literally the last years when we can record , we tried to reconstruct it, ask a person to sing in a lower voice, a middle voice and an upper voice, and from that we already had a general picture, hello,

new joy began to be sung, well, literally in every village, and this is without any exaggeration , it is really real like that too our. tradition carols were sung addressed to certain members of the family, i.e. we have many wedding carols recorded, there are carols for a boy, there are carols for a girl, and for a girl they can

be for a boy, there can be weddings. yes, that is, the text about the upcoming wedding, for the boy it can be military or cossack carols, here , after all, it is a regimental system, it lasted quite a long time, it may not be as long as they say, it lasted for centuries in fact, but it influenced the development of the formation of these genres of folk culture, and in our country military texts in general a lot, and soldier songs, and recruit and military cossack carols, there was already a thing recorded, but there are carols for the widow, carols for the lord.

years before the interest of this , a folklore ensemble was already created at the kharkiv university, which is now named after the national karazin, there were simply people who were interested in singing folklore, and at that time they grasped both local russian and ukrainian folklore, and this is already on my eyes and even mine i would say. participation we made a conscious decision through to give up the russian tradition for a certain time , absolutely no one thought about the political component at that time, but it was just technical, we understood what we knew, we recorded, by the way, we have a lot of russian forces here who have preserved their singing manner well, we understood how different it is, and it turned out to be very difficult to get into this particular outfit and reproduce it, and somehow we concentrated on the ukrainian

traditional song, then on... this band was called slobozhany, it was a very original name, because the word slobozhany is almost nobody did not know, and it was necessary to explain at every performance what slobodian ukraine is, why we are called slobodzhans. at a certain moment, the band broke up, well, it split into two parts, and one part, so we decided to change this name, we also began to look for something local, interesting, connected, at that moment slobozhany already seemed so replicated more, that's why we thought about the moravian way historical name. the military road, which crossed the entire slobitsk ukraine, connecting the south and the north, it even physically preserved these parts of this roads, we know where it is, we had mass expeditions to these places behind the yards of grapes, red and green, we have a lot of

non-musicians in this team, we generally had very few musicians at a certain time, and it is quite difficult, we do not this is how we teach and play these songs, as they do there, for example, our more professionally educated colleagues in kyiv, we mainly have such intelligent people, teachers of universities there, we currently have five candidates of sciences in this band, the oldest is 70 years old now and... the youngest is 29. kind evening. christmas is a big holiday for us. and for a singing group, it is always the moment when you understand that you have it, the moment of the most likely contact with the public, which is not hard to even look for. always, yes, every band has its own audience, supporters, people come who come to your organized performances.
